Magdalena Hernandez

My name is Magdalena Hernandez, and I am a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) fluent in English and Spanish. I hold a Master of Social Work from Indiana University South Bend and a dual Bachelor’s degree in Social Work and Spanish from Saint Mary’s College. I specialize in working with adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, life stressors, and emotional challenges. My experience includes working in outpatient settings and community-based healthcare, supporting individuals from diverse cultural and social backgrounds. I am passionate about creating a safe, inclusive space where people feel seen, heard, and supported.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, supportive, and rooted in empathy. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and strength-based practices to tailor sessions to each client’s unique needs. I believe in meeting clients where they are and helping them uncover their inner resilience and potential. My style is warm and client-centered, focusing on empowering individuals to take meaningful steps toward healing, growth, and balance in their lives.

Clients can expect a welcoming and nonjudgmental space where they are encouraged to explore their thoughts, emotions, and personal goals. Together, we’ll work toward increasing self-love, enhancing self-care, and finding a deeper sense of inner peace. My goal is for every client to leave each session feeling more understood, more equipped to handle life’s challenges, and more connected to their authentic self.
